obama and house speaker john boehner hit a wall. it the deal extend the bush tax cuts for families making less than $250,000 a year. there are no spending cuts in this deal. the democrats said they already agreed to cuts in last year's debt ceiling hike. but republicans will go ballistic over no spending cuts. there is one year of extended unemployment benefits in this deal. that was a red line for some democrats who say it's good for the country and fair for the many people who still can't find work. it doesn't raise enough revenue or cut spending enough to stop the sequestration. in the words of the critics they will have to kick the can down the road. this will be a hard sell for republicans who say the country has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. president obama is hoping the midnight deadline puts pressure on them. >> date appears that an agreement to prevent this new year's tax hike is within sight. but it's not done. there are still issues left to resolve. but we are hopeful that congress can get it done. but it's n
